War of Honor is a brand new way to play multiplayer Legend of the Five Rings CCG games, or one on one if you wish, in which the old ways of winning multiplayer are thrown out. There are Military, Honor, Dishonor, and Enlightenment victory conditions, but they are different than the current victory conditions.

War of Honor also uses a board to determine who may ally with whom. A board which changes every game and allows the player to place themselves in strategic positions to achieve their goals.

War of Honor comes with four pre-built decks and simplified rules to help new players and non-CCG players enjoy the game. However, if you wish to play War of Honor with your own tournaments decks, it is compatible for that as well. In fact War of Honor will be a new multiplayer tournament format with three different legalities; Current arc, current arc plus previous arc, and Open where all cards are legal for use. When gaining 40 honor in one turn, or playing all 5 rings in one battle are meaningless, suddenly both multiplayer and Open can be fun again.
